Currently Wifi has become an almost fundamental part of our daily life, which is why a group of engineers and students from the University of Washington in the US are working on a new type of Wi-Fi signal capable of consuming 10 thousand times less energy than the actual.
It’s called ‘passive’ Wi-Fi and, judging from what its creators promise, could become the future of the Internet of Things (IoT).
The leader of the team of researchers Vami Talla, explains that he and his team started working on the project four years ago thinking of creating a system applicable to medicine and wearables like digital clocks, “but Now we see that this can also serve to have connectivity throughout the house almost at no cost, “adds Talla.
It also says that developing a ‘passive’ Wi-Fi will be very cheap and that manufacturers will be able to integrate it into their products “so that we can all have a home fully connected to the
